millions in losses sustained on september 9, 2010. >> one of the surprising allegations or reasons why they say the victim ares aren't entitled to anything is that they waited too long to bring suit. so that their lawsuits are too late. of course that's ridiculous. another thing that they say is, even if their lawsuits were on time, pg&e isn't responsible because its pipe was state-of-the-art. >> reporter: the original filing also places partial blame on the victims of the blast, which upset many, including mike ben benko, including this attorney. >> they've been devastated, but they thought -- >> reporter: the filing isn't specific on what part of the blame residents should share, nor does it respond to allegations of specific suits. this afternoon, pg&e issued a large statement which says, in
